It is a very common practice around here to have a blank cover for the lighting outlet, even on a $800,000 house.

Question:

Is an electrical inspector correct for asking that a lighting fixture (or lampholder) be installed at lighting outlets where they exist instead of a blank cover, such as in a kitchen or bathroom, or in any other location before allowing occupancy?
